Within Our Lifetime - United For Palestine (WOL),[1] is a pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist activist organization primarily active in New York City. The group, which notably expresses support for Hamas and the Palestinian resistance against Israel,[2][3][4][5][6] has been one of the key organizers in the city's ongoing Israel-Hamas war protests.[7]
The organization was founded and is currently led by the Palestinian-American Muslim Nerdeen Kiswani.[1] They are based out of Bay Ridge, a neighborhood in Brooklyn that is home to the majority of Palestinians in New York City.[8][9]
WOL has been condemned for antisemitism as well as supporting and glorifying the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, including the Nova Music Festival Massacre, which started the ongoing war.[10][11][12]
